I wasn't able to attend the Javascript meetup this evening but I would like
to reach out to anybody who is attending these meetings and possibly
interact online outside of the meetings IE share code, ideas, projects and
built a rapport. I have a project I'm doing for people interested in audio
& Javascript here http://interactiveaudio.wikiaudio.org . It's a
(slow-moving) tutorial series & I'm still learning and code every day. If I
can contribute anything to sudo room in the way of a knowledge base let me
know. I have extensive knowledge of audio as well as an increasing
understanding of *web audio*. Please reach out 510 816 2816.
I'm actually curious if sudo room has a projector that can be hooked up to
a computer in the main room to do presentations. I would like to possibly
do a small one on web audio as well as suggest a few on more complicated
concepts like closures and design patterns.
For anyone interested the best way to learn Javascript online (in my
opinion) that I've found thus far is this

We do have a projector for the main room, which we use for sudoroom
general meetings. This looks great, I would definitely attend a
Javascript audio presentation.
I'd also recommend Secrets of the Javascript Ninja, a new book written
by John Resig, the developer of jQuery. It goes a little more in-depth
into the language constructs and best practices. We should get a copy
for the sudolibrary.

Less interested in a Javascript session focusing on *web audio *and/or the
more complicated js concepts myself, but flexibly open-minded on more
_Introductory_ Javascript Monday night sessions --- as long as the "catchup
pace" with others isn't TOO daunting! :-)

According to this javasriptissexy link (and I quote):
~~~ quoting ~~~
And do not try to learn the language by using only Codecademy, because
while you will know how to program bits of very small JavaScript tasks, you
absolutely will *not* have learned enough to build modern web applications.
Why learn only a tenth of the language, it is a waste of your time. I do
recommend Codecademy below as a supplemental learning resource, however, to
use along with specific chapters from the two JavaScript books you will be
using.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just curious; For someone more Introductory-level like myself, why WOULDN'T
one wish to wade into the js waters by using Codecademy --- as opposed to
diving into the deep end with Secrets of the Javascript Ninja and/or
javasriptissexy's purchase-suggested books --- notwithstanding author
Richard Bovell's claims to the contrary???!!! And BTW, this particular
person is already proceeding quite well thank you through the Web
Fundamentals <http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/web> Track on Codecademy...
including completion of chapter 8 (Build a Webpage)
And WHY NOT go through the WebPlatform.org js tutorials at
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/javascript/tutorials ??
Just curious is all.
